    It made zero sense then, it makes even less sense now.

    The kind of thing that's really easy to say for someone who isn't a fan and has no investment.

    Not seeing how any of the available FAs Portland could pursue fixes their glaring defensive holes and an increasingly aging Dame.

    I like Hart but that’s a dumb thing to say about a player who’s never been on a team with a winning record or gone to the playoffs

    Absorbing Ben Simmons into that giant chunk of cap space fixes some serious problems for them :twocents:

    I have no idea how they make that happen at this juncture though. Philly doesn't care about those picks they're sitting on

    McCollum was the only way for Philly to save face in that potential deal. No way they send him out there for picks now.

    And I can’t see Portland sending Dame and rebuilding around Simmons, but if you’re Cronin, why not - be in charge of a low stakes rebuild versus trying to compete in the west at this point.

    The path is Philly trades Simmons to somebody for a bunch of stuff. Then that 3rd party flips Simmons to Portland for those firsts and idk what. I would just rip it down to the studs if I were Portland, but there's probably some viable path to what I have described

    I don't know what Jerami Grant's trade value will be in five months, but I believe he and Lillard are friends and Portland has been considered a potential trade partner for a while. I can see something happening there around draft time.

    Pacers jumped onto that list with the Levert trade I believe. If not full max theyre just short.

    So idk how it works in practice, but having Hield and Duarte spreading the floor for you on offense looks nice on paper. They should be able to go a legit 5 out with Turner at C

    I hope the Grizz find a way to bring in a scoring guard. Hield would be perfect but feel like that might be off the table now

    Now the question becomes - do the Pacers hang onto Turner? Jackson seems like he's going to be a starting level big in the not so distant future, but Turner is the current player most beloved by the fanbase and the 5 out style would be super intriguing with him still on the team in the long term. His salary doesn't clog up the cap sheet because he's on a pretty solid long term deal, so I think the Pacers need a big offer to deal him after finding a great deal for Domas and getting rid of the 2 centers issue.

    Am I drunk or did the Pacers fleece Sac.
    Why would Sac include Haliburton and how will Holmes and Sabonis play together?

    Gotta be more to it. 2 days left still. Why would you move Haliburton to vie for the play in?
